Mod R here, sliding in just before the ball drops.
As we tiptoe toward midnight, we have a very important New Year’s resolution to keep, and we need you to help us with it.
We’re on the hunt for voice actor recommendations for an audiobook role that is very near and dear to the BDH’s heart: Augustine Montgomery aka Pancakes, aka Head of House Montgomery, aka Illusion Prime extraordinaire, best friend of Mad Rogan, mentor to Arabella Baylor, and keeper of very deep secrets.
In case you need visual motivation, I just happened to find some lying around today after Ilona left for her birthday mini-break. It’s New Year’s Eve, restraint is overrated, and sharing is caring. Everybody gets a treat!
Hubba DING DONG Hubba!
Specifications for the audio narrator of our Montgomerian dreams:
- Early to mid-30s
- Cultured, aristocratic businessman vibes
- Attractive in a sophisticated assassin type of way, not a musclehead alpha-growly way
- Range of voices, especially good female voices. Augustine is an Illusion mage and he speaks in character when he changes visage. It has to be believable and natural, Pancakes puts a lot of effort and control into it.
If you’ve ever listened to an audiobook and thought “Wait, how is that even the same person?” — that’s the energy we want to ring in.
The champagne is chilling, the comment section awaits…oh wait, I nearly forgot:
“Augustine?”
“Yes?”
“If I wasn’t there, would you have killed all of them?”
There was a tiny pause before he answered. “It would’ve been bad for business.”
May your 2026 be a year full of joy and good reading!
